This is a heavy-duty replacement steering damper from Dobinsons, designed as a direct-fit upgrade for late model Y61 GU Nissan Patrols built from 2000 onwards. Located at the front of the vehicle, it connects the steering linkage to the chassis to absorb road shock and dampen vibration through the steering wheel. A worn or failing original damper can result in poor vehicle control, excessive vibration, or severe steering wheel shake, often referred to as 'death wobbles'. Upgrading to this Dobinsons unit restores steering precision and control, especially when running larger tyres or tackling rough Australian terrain.

Product Features

• Improved Steering Control: Greatly reduces steering wheel vibrations and shake ('death wobbles'), providing a more controlled and predictable driving experience both on and off-road.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built by Dobinsons, a trusted 4x4 brand, this damper is engineered to withstand harsh conditions. Inferior dampers can fail prematurely, risking poor vehicle control.
• Direct-Fit Installation: Designed for a straightforward replacement of the original unit, typically involving just two main mounting bolts, making it suitable for a competent DIY mechanic.
• Installation Note: When replacing your steering damper, it is a good opportunity to inspect other steering components for wear. A wheel alignment is recommended after replacement to ensure correct vehicle handling.
